Additional Agenda item for Board-ALAC meeting on Tuesday
by Olivier MJ Crepin-Leblond March 13, 2012

March 13, 2012

Dear ALAC members, I have received one additional agenda item which the Board has asked to discuss, in addition to our agenda items: 1. Views on CWGs 2. Views on the new gTLDs Program and Objection Procedure Please be so kind to find the new question below: "What will be in your view the medium-term impact of the new gTLD program on the structure of ICANN in general, and challenges it brings to the gNSO, its constituencies and policy development process. What are the potential issues and how to anticipate them?" You have the night to think about this. See you in La Paz C, at 8:30am! Kind regards, Olivier -- Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond, PhD http://www.gih.com/ocl.html

Fwd: [soac-discussion] FW: ICANN 43 Public Forum Agenda Building
by Olivier MJ Crepin-Leblond March 2, 2012

March 2, 2012

Hello all, we have until the end of the week for our suggestions. I have left this to rest until now since we were not aware of the hot issues, and hot issues a month ago might have cooled down until now. Please email me your suggestions. The ALAC ExCom will discuss suggestions on its call on Friday. Kind regards, Olivier -------- Message original -------- Sujet: [soac-discussion] FW: ICANN 43 Public Forum Agenda Building Date : Mon, 27 Feb 2012 13:11:09 -0800 De : Marilyn Vernon <marilyn.vernon(a)icann.org> Pour : soac-discussion(a)icann.org <soac-discussion(a)icann.org> Copie à : Filiz Yilmaz <filiz.yilmaz(a)icann.org> *[Sent on behalf of Filiz Yilmaz]* ====== Dear ICANN Community Leaders, This is a friendly reminder to submit your suggested topics for the Public Forum agenda.

As usual, we will have a Public Forum that will take place on Thursday, 15 March 2012, where Community members can make comments and ask questions to the Board and in front of the rest of the community. We believe building the agenda with your input facilitates this forum process and results in a productive session with the subjects that the Community thinks are important to talk about.This has been the practice in the recent meetings and we would like to repeat it again for Costa Rica. We believe publishing the agenda as early as possible facilitates more informed discussions during the Public Forum as we have experienced in Dakar, allowing the Community ample time to be aware of the agenda topics before the meeting actually starts. Please let Filiz Yilmaz (filiz.yilmaz(a)icann.org <mailto:filiz.yilmaz@icann.org>) know of one or two suggested topics that your groups would like to see included in the Public Forum agenda in Costa Rica, before the end of Friday, 2 March 2012. We will then review the suggestions, accommodate them as much as possible, combine common or related topics under one agenda topic and publish the agenda for the Public Forum after my approval. Thanks for your consideration and input. Kind regards, Steve Crocker

FW: IOC/RC Drafting Team Status Report
by Alan Greenberg March 1, 2012

March 1, 2012

Here is the formal status report that will be discussed with members of the GAC this Friday, and will presumably form the basis for whatever happens in Costa Rica. Due to lack of time this is formally a report of the Chair and not the entire DT, although there was extensive discussion on the list which led to a number of changes from the first draft. Note that this report include the recommendation I previously distributed, but addresses other issues as well. I also am posting this report to the Wiki space (https://community.icann.org/x/FZ7bAQ) Please feel free to re-distribute as appropriate.
